Valentine Scrapbooking 2011

It's very close to Valentine's Day 2011, and I apolgize for not posting this sooner. Of course, you can always make a scrapbook for your valentine any time of the year! Here are some valentine's day themed scrapbooking papers.

First is a  collection pack from BoBunny Press with eighteen 12" x 12" sheets of double sided designer paper including journaling card paper, and one sheet of coordinating cardstock stickers. A scrapbook paper pack is a great way to get a scrapbook finished fast.

 

Another new set of designer scrapbook papers for Valentines albums is from K and Company: Valentine Paper Pad with 36 double-sided papers.

Echo Park has their Be Mine Collection pack with twelve 12 x 12 double-sided papers, one sheet of alphabet stickers and a sheet of elements stickers:

A new BasicGrey album with an interesting red cover would work well for your scrapbook: BasicGrey - Basics Collection - 12 x 12 Album - Red

Since I am so late with this post, I'll stop here and let you go look at some nice scrapbooking papers and albums for your Valentine's Day scrapbooks. You can find more scrapbooking supplies at My Art and Craft Supplies and albums at All Scrapbook Albums.

Happy scrappin!

Boo - Halloween Scrapbook Time!

Today I saw Halloween decorations in neighbor’s yards. And I’m reminded that even though this is a busy time of year, it’s time to get ready to make a Halloween scrapbook.

Lots of people love this time of year and tell me that Halloween is their favorite holiday. Halloween, as a theme, is rich in imagery and makes a good subject for interesting page layouts and adding the photos of kids in costumes lends another layer of interest to a scrapbook.

So, it’s time to get the costumes ready, and check your scrapbooks, paper, and other supplies to do some scrapbooking with Halloween themes, pumpkins, witches and spiderwebs.

Show above is the Masterpiece Stemma Carved Pumkins scrapbook paper - a cool design! (available in single sheets or in bulk packs)

Or for contrast, you could use some solid orange paper - and save buy buying it in bulk, like this Paper Accents pumpkin orange paper:

For more freaky Halloween fun, look at the Bo Bunny papers - they are really fun! (Shown below are a mummy design on 12 x 12 scrapbook paper and the green one is called "witches' brew")

Spookier still are these Cosmo Cricket double-sided scrapbook papers: on the left is Haunted Halloween - Eerie, and on the right is Macabre.

How about some Spiders and Spiderwebs for your Scrapbook?

Carolee's Creations has a Halloween Collection of scrapbook papers that I personally like a lot. Silly Spiders has a page designed with rows of spiders on their threads and the spiderwebs page has a dark background that will accent nicely with photos adhered on top.

Doodlebug Designs has a more abstract approach to their page layout with this 12x12 scrapbook paper called "Hocus Pocus." And on the right is a paper design with pictures of black cats, witches hats, spider webs, and ghosts called Wicked Whimsy from the Imaginisce - Hallowhimsy Halloween Collection (and it's cute!)

Halloween Scrapbook Kits

These help all of you that don't have time to pick out each piece of paper, one-by-one. The two kits I can recommend are: Doodlebug Designs' Let's Kit Together - Halloween and Making Memories Spellbound 12x12 Halloween Kit.

You'll need a binder or album, too...I like these a linen covered albums: We R Memory Keepers - Linen - 12x12 - Three Ring Albums - Orange Zest or We R Memory Keepers Postbound Album - Hazelnut.

Just found! Free digital scrapbook pages and stickers downloads: You can get some digital scrapbooking stuff here: Free Halloween Downloads

So, when the festivities are over and the costumes are put away, you can nibble on the leftover candy and create your Halloween scrapbooks.
